Creating a spacious, practical and multi-use light-filled home, with a richness of robust 1980’s Cocks & Carmichael Architects history. The designers chose to embrace many of the 1980’s elements, and play up the existing features – glass bricks, grey terrazzo, flooring, whilst still injecting a contemporary renovation to suit the young family of five. To boost natural light and a link to the garden, glass windows were emphasised with to the living room, and a full-height window was installed in the study.

To compliment the bold exisiting features the Doherty Design team paired contemporary design pieces, fresh original art and drops of bright youthful colours. Glass features throughout the renovation, particularly in the bedroom where Ross Gardam Flare Lights in hand blown blue glass, draws in and reflect natural light around rooms.
